damn

TX. Shawty where u be @

Imus is what color?

DAMN!!! Whats next is CBS going to hire David Duke?

are you surprised? Don’t forget we are in white america

IT AINT THAT SEROIUS the old man did his time, never should have been fired in the first place….what he said doesnt even compare to the things ive hear black say about whites on radio.

well whatever. hopefully he’s learned his lesson. stick to picking on people who deserve it imus. either that or admit that you’re a senile old bag of bones and retire.

No surprise here… NEXTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!

Gotdayum he looks ghastly!!! Ugghhhh!! So effin’ gross.

Is it me or is one of his eyes looking in a different direction?

Seriously did anyone really think that he was going to stay unemployed? They are all ole school netowrk hos that look out for each other

Atleast now, Al won’t have to boycott the Knicks. And maybe Isiah Washington will return to Grey’s Anatomy, only when their ratings slip. Too bad so many “people” listen to Imus and “no spin jerk” and repeat what they say. Just don’t let anybody hear you!

not surprised at all. he’s been doing this type of shock-jock thing for years. clearly it’s lucrative for all parties involved and money is worth more than morality to bigwigs. this is the unfortunate double-edge sword of the first amendment. all speech, both positive and poisonous, is basically protected. he’ll get what’s coming to him

That IS interesting, huh? But whatever. Imus already has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.

We can be upset, or we can improve upon the images we emit. I know Imus was wrong, you know he was wrong ABC EVIDENTLY DOES NOT FEEL CALLING A BLACK WOMAN A NAPPY HEADED HO–UNPROMPTED AND INDESCRIMINATELY IS AS WRONG AS MAKING A PROMPTED REMARK INDIRECTLY ABOUT SEXUALITY (saying FAG)

we need to stage a black out . stop watching for a while.show that we dont need them.

Boycott ABC

Um this is America we are talking about right????

Donovan McNabb said it best, as a black person you all always have to do a “little bit extra” to succeed. Conversely you are on thinner ice when you slip up.

What’s the big deal? Rappers have made millions calling women hoes.

Btw, texas, unless you have one of those Nielsen boxes attached to your boob tube, a blackout would be inconsequential.

honestly I am not surprised. We are in white america and also even black people in hollywood don’t stick together to form anything so we will never have that type of power over anything (except Tyler Perry who is amazing). I honestly wasn’t in an uproar over what he said because you know why? Black people say even worse things about each other everyday. Just because we have the same skin color doesn’t make it right. Look at the comedians and rappers who constantly degrade black women whether it’s in a rap or a skit (anyone remember Cedric the Entertainer’s show ..crack babies and all). Look at the previous post featuring the boys of Jena 6 posing at the BET awards. Our society is majorly flawed as black people. Did they even graduate or look into moving out of Jena??? They have enough money and support to attend the BET awards and buy new outfits, but yet they can’t afford to get an education.

Hypocrites!!!!

He looks like he has cataracts..And this doesn’t surprise me either..The old geeze will probably spew his hate until he “kicks the bucket”..Man he’s fug..He looks like a horse..

@Traycee..

*COSIGN x10* N*ggas betta wake up.

What the hell difference does it make black people disgrace themselves as a race without the remarks from a white racist. All that controversy blacks put up, for what? Nothing. GO IMUS!!!!!

FU** ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOYCOTT

I hope he doesn’t read the name of Nas’ new Album title. We’ll riot.

@KKK

DEAR AHOLE,

You knwo better than to talk about Black ppl. It is okay for other black ppl to talk about themselves not for white punks like you!

funny http://www.mactanque.com/

I find it funny how we get mad at Imus but we dont get made at these rappers who say sh*t 100 x worse then then what Imus said. We need to stop putting up with the crap period, wether their white or black. Stop supporting these rappers who are basically doing the same thing Imus done, to make a dollar at our kids expense. They will make black women and black people look like stupid fools in these videos. Like the only thing we care about is drinking,sex,and putting rims on a carm and how how fast we can get to the club. Then when they are done selling us this stupid crap. They take their money and get a white girl. I cant stand it when a black rapper make a video with black women in the background degrading themselves with their azz wobbling all over the place, telling black people they need to stay “hood” then when you see them off camera, they got a white women and live nowhere near the hood. Hell naw! Let their ass stay hood. You know a rapper just trying to cash in on peoples stupidity when the only thing they can rap about is fuccing and getting high, and rims. STOP THE MADNESS. STOP BUYING THEIR CRAP.

apple:

Man he’s fug..He looks like a horse..

y would you disrespect a horse like that?

Isaiah was also rehired for another show so stop tripping. Rappers can call women Ho’s and its cute, Imus does it and he should be fired for life? youre stupid and racist and your ignorant minimum wage redaer are stupid too All of them Shanika, terell, Lawanda, shanaynay and letrell

I been saying the same damn thing but not very many people seem to see the correlation.

and, you can agree with the second, but please don’t agree with nicole, she’s ignorant. thanks!

Damn Nicole, I see your brother didn’t give you some last night so you must be very angry. Relax, maybe your uncle will hit it tonight.

Excuse me, I didn’t say boycott all rappers, because all rappers dont degrade black women. What I am saying is it’s kind of stupid to expect respect from some old white racist,actually be horrified when he makes a racist comment when certain black rappers say stuff that is harmful about black women and people rush out to buy the record. I have heard songs that encourage raping women, and beating them. I got fired up when Imus made his comment, but crap I’ve gotten so use to hearing degrading stuff said in some rap songs that It has just struck me that, these guys are no better than Imus. I dont expect anything from Imus because he is an old racist buzzard, it would be like expecting the kkk to support black college fund. I find it funny that we expect him to clean up his act and respect black people, when we don’t request the same from BET and not want some of these rappers to do the same. We are just know getting fed up to the point that we are speaking out. You got it twisted I dont blame anything on hiphop, because hiphop, and rap in general are good. Im referring to the ones who try to capitalize by downgrading black people and are making us out to be one way when we are not. Its about time that we as a whole speak up and say this is not who we are. Look at BET and watch 106 in park 70% of the degrade black people. Some of us actually let our very young kids look at this crap.

Imus has the complection for protection which is white

hey,

my comments were not directed toward you, thanks.

WHY SHOULD ANYONE BE SURPRISED. WHILE WE ARE DISCUSSING WORLD NEWS, NO NOT THE IRAQ WAR, DARFUR, HOUSING SLUMP, LOW WAGES, 2008 ELECTION ETC, THAT’S NOT IMPORTANT. WHAT TOOK ALL OUR ATTENTION A RAP VIDEO THAT COMES ON AT 3AM.

A LOT GOES ON WHILE THE NEGROES BICKER ABOUT NONSENSE.

Why is anyone surprised? Just like stupid{G.A.} Shonda Rhimes , let them put I. Washington off the show, give them time and she will out the door her self. If you can’t see it by by now, white people want total control of everything. ABC/CBS/NBC will have it’s shows completely white with a token black or two by 2010! What is a joke is the fact that most of the so called white stars, can’t act or dance.

Damn i wuz gonna leave a detailed comment but i c yall over here writing books so imma keep it brief. I agree ABC was so quick to fire Isaiah for callin old boy a fag from Greys Anatomy, But eversoquickly rehired Imus after callin that basketball team some nappy headed hoes!!!WTF????not to sound un ladylike but that is sum straight bull SH*T!!!!!!!

BTW, ABC didnt hire Imus, Citadel Broadcasting did.

@ Imus Fan

Citadel Broadcasting and ABC radio stations merged so they are ONE. Doesn’t really matter which of the two hired him the point is they are now operating as a unit. That being said I guess Isaih Washington is next on the re-hire list, huh?

I’m no longer watching ABC or listening to ABC radio. I’ll miss Ugly Betty.

Glad to see him back… what a bunch a crap all that was…

Funny, this post only has 60 comments so far–yet the posts on TI and Jay Z have over 150. Just goes to show whats important to people these days. So sad.

What really blows my mind is the fact that Bill and Hillary, both who are Lawyers{Liars}lied their way into the White House twice, and are now going for another go at it.

When will America wake up? These people are carpetbaggers who tried to rob the White House blind, on their way out, and are trying to get back in to finish the job.

The Clinton Legacy

The Progressive Review

This list was compiled at the end of the Clinton administration. It was last partially updated in 2000

Our Clinton Scandal Index

The Clintons, to adapt a line from Dr. Johnson, were not only corrupt, they were the cause of corruption in others. Yet seldom in America have so many come to excuse so much mendacity and malfeasance as during the Clinton years. Here are some of the facts that have been buried.

RECORDS SET

- The only president ever impeached on grounds of personal malfeasance

- Most number of convictions and guilty pleas by friends and associates*

- Most number of cabinet officials to come under criminal investigation

- Most number of witnesses to flee country or refuse to testify

- Most number of witnesses to die suddenly

- First president sued for sexual harassment.

- First president accused of rape.

- First first lady to come under criminal investigation

- Largest criminal plea agreement in an illegal campaign contribution case

- First president to establish a legal defense fund.

- First president to be held in contempt of court

- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions

- Greatest amount of illegal campaign contributions from abroad

- First president disbarred from the US Supreme Court and a state court

* According to our best information, 40 government officials were indicted or convicted in the wake of Watergate. A reader computes that there was a total of 31 Reagan era convictions, including 14 because of Iran-Contra and 16 in the Department of Housing & Urban Development scandal. 47 individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine were convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes with 33 of these occurring during the Clinton administration itself. There were in addition 61 indictments or misdemeanor charges. 14 persons were imprisoned. A key difference between the Clinton story and earlier ones was the number of criminals with whom he was associated before entering the White House.

Using a far looser standard that included resignations, David R. Simon and D. Stanley Eitzen in Elite Deviance, say that 138 appointees of the Reagan administration either resigned under an ethical cloud or were criminally indicted. Curiously Haynes Johnson uses the same figure but with a different standard in “Sleep-Walking Through History: America in the Reagan Years: “By the end of his term, 138 administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations. In terms of number of officials involved, the record of his administration was the worst ever.”

STARR-RAY INVESTIGATION

- Number of Starr-Ray investigation convictions or guilty pleas (including one governor, one associate attorney general and two Clinton business partners): 14

- Number of Clinton Cabinet members who came under criminal investigation: 5

- Number of Reagan cabinet members who came under criminal investigation: 4

- Number of top officials jailed in the Teapot Dome Scandal: 3

CRIME STATS

- Number of individuals and businesses associated with the Clinton machine who have been convicted of or pleaded guilty to crimes: 47

- Number of these convictions during Clinton’s presidency: 33

- Number of indictments/misdemeanor charges: 61

- Number of congressional witnesses who have pleaded the Fifth Amendment, fled the country to avoid testifying, or (in the case of foreign witnesses) refused to be interviewed: 122

SMALTZ INVESTIGATION

- Guilty pleas and convictions obtained by Donald Smaltz in cases involving charges of bribery and fraud against former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy and associated individuals and businesses: 15

- Acquitted or overturned cases (including Espy): 6

- Fines and penalties assessed: $11.5 million

- Amount Tyson Food paid in fines and court costs: $6 million

CAMPAIGN FINANCE INVESTIGATION

- As of June 2000, the Justice Department listed 25 people indicted and 19 convicted because of the 1996 Clinton-Gore fundraising scandals.

- According to the House Committee on Government Reform in September 2000, 79 House and Senate witnesses asserted the Fifth Amendment in the course of investigations into Gore’s last fundraising campaign.

-James Riady entered a plea agreement to pay an $8.5 million fine for campaign finance crimes. This was a record under campaign finance laws.

CLINTON MACHINE CRIMES FOR WHICH CONVICTIONS WERE OBTAINED

Drug trafficking (3), racketeering, extortion, bribery (4), tax evasion, kickbacks, embezzlement (2), fraud (12), conspiracy (5), fraudulent loans, illegal gifts (1), illegal campaign contributions (5), money laundering (6), perjury, obstruction of justice.

@BetteyJ

That was a lovely story but what does that have to do with the Imus post?

You lot have only yourselves to blame. Try blaming rap as much as u want, but the fact is that whatever is sung in rap music is only a reflection of real life. You black men disrespect and degrade your women so much that others now think it is acceptable. And you black women continue to accept that gross degradation of them because they are ‘your men’, yet complain when others do it! Please!!!

Is it just me, or did it seem like the nappy hair comment got a much bigger reaction from black woman than the word hoe?

It’s no different than yelling at a child for dropping an F-bomb at the dinner table. Kid hears that sort of thing being said (by YOU), repeats it and YOU get mad at the kid for not knowing any better.

Screw it! He just called it how he saw it “in the parlence of our time”

“his mamma called him Clay i’m gonna call him Clay…”

And those girls….they were without a doubt nappy headed! Ho’s…that’s a bit strong for college girls though.

It is time for us to stop worrying and fretting everytime some old white ghost opens his mouth and says something disreputable because this will only encourage others (who wants their 15 minutes of notoriety to do the same). When this old ghost made those comments to his 15 million listeners, those were the only idiots who should have heard them. The ghost wanted to go directly to the girls basketball team to apologize and then to apologize over the air as well to the fans of his show and the rest of America. But Sharpton, Media Matters and some Black Journalists, smelling a story they could exploit and keep in the news, insisted that the old ghost go to emperor(in his own processed mind) Sharpton and apologize numerous times to him so that Sharpton could make an even bigger scandal from it. Nasty words that were heard only by Imus’s fans were now spread worldwide by Sharpton and Black journalists and now repeated everyday over the internet by people who previously had never heard such language before. Pick your battles yes, because I am insulted everyday by some idiocy some fool spews and then I move on. I want these same Black Journalists and self-appointed emperors(Al & Jesse) to get outraged and insulted by the daily carnage going on currently in Philadelphia. Where Black mothers, sisters, aunts, grandmothers and daughters cannot walk the streets in safety because of young black men killing black people like it is a declared hunting season. The streets of Philly are a killing field with streams overflowing with our blood, yet these same left-wing, emotional nutjobs, who get bent out of shape everytime a white person looks at them cross-eyed, are silent about Philly. Start thinking with your brains instead of your emotions folks, to bring about changes that really effect our quality of life like, murder, drugs, rape. The Association Of Black Journalists and the emperor preachers need to understand that they are being used by the leftish Media Matters and others in this country. They need to realize that the Left doesn’t give a damn about us, except to exploit our emotions every now and then when it suits their purposes. Imus has been villifying his Jewish boss and Jews in general for years, but the Jews at his station stayed silent about it until they could pay him abck at the appropriate time. That time came with his remarks about the basketball team and once again, we were used to settle an old score that Imus’s boss had against him, as well as to get Imus in trouble with the emotional Blacks, knowing that we would whoop and holler and bring as much hurt feelings and attention to this as possible. While Imus’s boss would not bring any public backlash or retribution against him and his own tribe. The backlash would come against the clueless, whining Black people for being so damn outraged and emotional over words spoken by a fool entertaining his laughing fool fan base. Getting Imus the ghostman into hot water, and putting into jeopardy all of the millions of dollars he raises for poor, sick children. Many people have been played in this political farce, yet sadly enough, the preacher emperors and the Association Of Black Journalists, still don’t recognize the pawn roles they played so well by the puppet masters extraordinaire. Sigh…

Great Point…

Just another reason for black people to unite. We must look in the mirror first!

Squad Up!

Should we really be surprised he’s found another job?

Come on, now.

He’s looked up to even more.

imus looks like an ostrich. a nappy headed one!

Oreo cookie, it seems to me that you need to find some one maybe your momma to play with.. its not about your stupid ass, if you don’t want to help are have an answer then shut the f— up. (btw that). Martin Luther King was not a person that watched and talked about thing , he did things to make it better for black people. So if your dumb ass have something better then, we are listen. If not eat a fat one .that’s what that is…………………….

dushawn thats for you too.

I AM ACTUALLY HAPPY HE GOT HIRED. HOPEFULLY IT TEACH SOME OF U STUPID BLACK WOMEN A LESSON. U ALL WANTED HIM FIRED. WELL WHAT OF AKLL THE BLACK MEN WHO CONSTANTLY INSULT BLACK WOMEN AND SAY WORSE THINGS YET U HELP FILL UP THEY BANK ACCOUNTS. LETS HOPE THIS GETS U ALL TO WAKE UP!

Read this kiddies…..

http://news.independent.co.uk/sci_tech/article3067222.ece
